Season 1 Episode 7:  "Columbo" Blueprint for Murder  (TV Episode 1972) This episode was directed by Columbo himself - Peter Falk. It was written by Steven Bochco, William Levinson and William Kelley. The three best outfits from this episode are: 1) Bo Williamson’s western ranch outfit:     Here he is rocking a tan suit with western styling and gold stripe pearl snap western shirt, silk cowboy scarf, and a cowboy hat with a snakeskin band.      And of course cowboy boots. Impeccable.  Later he puts on a sporty cream colored leather sheepskin coat:   The belt buckle and cargo pockets are next level.        The collar looks so soft and warm, literally to die for.        2) Goldie Williamson's entire wardrobe rocks. She is an avowed lover of gold lamė, saying right off the bat, wearing a sparkly gold headband: “I tell you lover, if gold lamė was legal tender, I’d rule the world.”     He...

 Season 1, Episode 5 - "Columbo" Lady in Waiting (TV Episode 1971) This episode was directed by Norman Lloyd, and written by Stephen Bochco, Richard Levinson, and Barney Slater. The three best outfits in this episode are: 1) Beth Chadwick's (who happens to be Ma’am from Diff’rent Strokes) magenta velvet brocade ensemble:     This is a high waisted floral brocade skirt with velvet trim and matching long coat with a Rick James enormous collar, paired with ribbed turtleneck, a knit cap and gloves.   Beth’s brother’s death was “the best thing that ever happened to her” and her post-villainy wardrobe certainly reflects that.   2) Beth’s pumpkin polo and flares:        She’s wearing a Leon Levin-style short sleeve polo shirt covered with a big pumpkin and pumpkin leaf motif, paired with hiphugger flares and saddle tan leather wedge sandals.       This outfit is pure October 1971 in a nutshell. Or pumpkin shell. 3) Mrs. Chadw...
